Chapter 1279 The 4th Shadow Conference
In fact, Shao Yun and Daines Reeb had discussed repeatedly in the past few days where to deal with the extremely vicious riders.
Shao Yun and Dai Yin spent several days discussing where to deal with the extremely vicious riders.
In the end, it was decided to kill the Evil Knight in the Land of Night. After all, looking at the entire Teyvat, the Land of Night was the most suitable place, practically a battlefield tailor-made for this final battle.
At that moment, Mavica raised her hand and touched her left cheek, where the burning pain from the vicious slap still lingered.
What a humiliation! I was exercising peacefully last night when I was arrested and suffered all kinds of humiliation!
As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. What a damn bad luck!
Seeing that Shao Yun was about to fight the Extreme Evil Knight, Mavica's fighting spirit ignited, and she raised her hand to signal to him:
“Count me in, I’ll help too. This guy has to die, for Nata or for all of Teyvat…”
Seeing Mavica's bruised and swollen face and disheveled hair, Shao Yun quickly advised her:
"You should rest. You were just tortured by the Evil Rider, and you're still very weak. Besides, his strength is far beyond your imagination. Staying here will only result in unnecessary injuries."
Mavica, however, was unwilling to give up. She spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground.
"Who is that guy? I have no power to fight back against him. I'm like a chick being held in his hand. This feeling of powerlessness... is so frustrating."
Shao Yun shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.
"Now is not the time to think about these things, nor do we need to dwell on his origins. In a little while, he will be dead. Once we've dealt with him, I'll tell you what you want to know slowly."
After saying that, Shao Yun shouted loudly towards the ranch house, "Ningguang, come here! Mavica needs to rest, please help settle her in."
Soon, Ningguang strode out of the house.
Seeing Mavica's appearance, she immediately understood the situation, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Mavica. You all just focus on dealing with the Evil Knights."
Shao Yun nodded in relief, then lit the Blood Alliance's "Famine" parchment scroll.
While waiting for the Apocalypse Horse "famine" to arrive, Shao Yun reiterated the plan to Daines Reeb and Skirk.
“I’ll go and distract the Evil Rider. I’ll find a way to entangle him first, and then lure him to the Kingdom of Night.”
"Dane, you and Skyker act according to our original plan, and make sure that by the time we arrive, all preparations are complete."
Daines Reeb nodded solemnly and assured him, "Okay, go ahead with peace of mind. We'll take him down by attacking from three sides."
Then, Shao Yun mounted "Famine" on horseback, gripped the reins, glanced down in the direction of the pasture, and muttered to himself:
"Hopefully this battle won't drag on too long. If the ranch's livestock sheds aren't cleaned for a day, the smell will be unbearable. I'll have to clean them up as soon as I get back."
After saying that, Shao Yun gently spurred his horse and whispered to "Famine," "Let's go, let's catch up!"
……
In a mysterious space above the continent of Teyvat, there is no sun, moon, or stars, no mountains, rivers, or vegetation, only a seemingly boundless, dim space, in which three blurry figures vaguely emerge.
The shadow of Heaven's Principle, the ruling power of life, Rhinedoth (Naberis), the ruling power of death, Jonathan, and the ruling power of time, Ishtar, a "Four Shadows Conference" concerning Shao Yun's fate.
"How many meetings is this..." Rhein-Dort yawned deeply, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
Istaru stood to the side and said in an unfriendly tone, "The Four Shadows meeting shall now begin."
"Naberis (Rhinedoth), Jonathan, and Istar attended, while Asmodeus (The Ruler of the Sky) was absent."
She paused, took a step forward, and said, "I think we can't waste any more time! Let's deal with the potential threat to 'Shaoyun' in Teyvat."
"We must reach a consensus as soon as possible and immediately bring down the 'Celestial Spike' to completely destroy this terrifying entity that could threaten the order of Teyvat at any moment!"
In Ishtar's view, Shao Yun's existence had long since exceeded the "controllable range".
He not only possesses the power to overturn the world, but also has intricate connections with the Abyss and the Descendants. Keeping him around will only bring trouble sooner or later, so it's better to eliminate him early to prevent future problems.
"We've talked about this topic at least a hundred times."
Jonawa stepped forward, her voice still calm and indifferent. She was surrounded by a dark red aura that represented "death," which contrasted sharply with Ishtar's toughness.
“As I have already said, I have reached an agreement with Shao Yun. He will be responsible for containing any potential changes that the Fourth Advent may bring, and we will provide him and his family with a stable life.”
"He hasn't done anything to harm Teyvat yet; on the contrary, he's helped us stop the Abyss's invasion. If we use the 'Celestial Spike' on him, it will inevitably cause chaos!"
"What gives us the right to break this balance?"
In Jonawa's eyes, Shao Yun is an important piece in balancing the situation in Teyvat, rather than a "threat" that needs to be destroyed.
The Descendant is not bound by Teyvat, and Shao Yun can now control this Descendant, which is entirely beneficial to the order of Heaven!
"On what grounds?" Istaru suddenly turned to look at Ronava and said righteously, "On the grounds that he possesses a power that even the laws of nature cannot defy!"
"He can summon power capable of destroying the Teyvat ley lines at will!"
“A wild beast will never be content with the status quo, Ronawa. If you compromise with him now, you are raising a tiger to cause future trouble!”
“Once you've fattened his appetite, he'll surely devour the entirety of Teyvat, and then we'll all pay the price for your ‘mercy’!”
She emphasized again, "Moreover, the changes brought about by the Fourth Advent are not even a fraction as significant as those of this guy named Shao Yun."
“He’s like a bomb planted in Tivatri, ready to explode at any moment. We must eliminate him completely before he gets out of control!”
“Ah…” Rhein-Dorte looked at the two arguing and couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh.
"You guys are so boring. You keep repeating the same topic over and over again. Is it interesting? I should have done what Asmo did and gone offline. It would have been better than listening to you guys argue here."
Naberic: Ah, thank you Rhein-Dortmund for doing my job, thanks.
The argument within the mysterious space hadn't lasted long when the space above suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
A tiny crack appeared without warning, its edges shimmering with unstable spatial energy, like shattered glass that could collapse completely at any moment.
Jonawa was the first to notice the anomaly, instantly stopping her argument with Ishtar and staring sharply at the crack, saying warily:
"No! An external force has broken through the spatial barrier; someone has broken in!"
Istaru and Rheindorf immediately composed themselves and looked up at the sky.
The silver time energy around Istaru began to flow rapidly, seemingly trying to repair the crack (after all, this was a space created by Asmodie, and she could use her power to a limited extent).
Rhein-Dörgården also changed their previous lazy attitude.
The being capable of breaking through this mysterious spatial barrier must possess formidable strength.
Just then, a crisp "crack" rang out, and the crack in the space above suddenly widened. Then, a figure, accompanied by shattered spatial fragments, plummeted straight down, crashing heavily onto the ground in the center of the space, raising a cloud of energy dust.
"What the hell! How could a plane crash like that?!" Shao Yun's angry curses came from the smoke and dust as he struggled to get up from the ground.
"That vicious rider is really good at ambushing! He almost smashed me into a pulp!"
While coughing to relieve the discomfort after the fall, Shao Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to summon the Apocalypse Horse "Famine" to fight back when he suddenly sensed three completely different and powerful auras around him.
He subconsciously looked up and surveyed his surroundings, and when he saw the three figures standing beside him, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey, isn't this Rheindorf, Istaru, and Jonawa? What are you doing here?"
He never expected that the space he was ambushed and fell into would lead him to these three Teyvat rulers, especially considering his previous agreement with Jonawa. This encounter was quite a coincidence.
Just as Shao Yun was stunned, movement came again from the broken part in the space above, and the figure of the Extreme Evil Rider slowly descended from the crack.
Looking at the disheveled Shao Yun, he teased, "Your vigilance isn't very good, but that's normal. You've been living a peaceful life for too long, and you've become complacent."
Rheindorf was taken aback when he saw the suddenly appearing Extreme Knight. Then, a cryptic smile appeared on his lips as he waved to the Extreme Knight and greeted his old friend.
"Hey, isn't this Surtroch? It's been so many years, what brings you back to Teyvat all of a sudden?"
"I thought you had long forgotten this place and found your own paradise somewhere in the universe."
Upon hearing Rhinedot's words, the Extreme Evil Knight walked up to her, looked her up and down, noticed the unusual life energy emanating from her, and asked curiously:
"Rhinedoth, it's been a long time. Judging from your aura, there's a pure life force now. Who... did you merge with?"
"Who else could it be?" Rhein-Dortmund shrugged and answered frankly:
“Miss Nabelis and I have become one. I am now both the former ‘Gold’ Rheindorf and the living ruler of Teyvat.”
"As for you, have you encountered anything interesting while adventuring in the universe all these years?"
